Land O' the Pines Rallye 2017

This is a beautiful campground located in the woods of East Texas. The campground sits on 100 acres and has 50 RV hook ups along with a dump station. There are clean restrooms and free Wi-Fi. The center of the campground has a huge covered pavilion with a stage, sound system, lighting, and a bar with a fridge. The pavilion will be the hub of the rallye where we will have the awards ceremony. A river runs along the western edge of the campground which is also the route for Don’s vintage train that can be boarded in downtown Jefferson. This location has a large central open area that is perfect for our field events and bike show being held on Saturday and for the rolling concours held on Sunday morning. As an added attraction there is a fenced in alligator pit!

A large contingent of members, some from as far away as California, will depart the "Little House" on Friday, Sept. 20th and ride to Mena, Arkansas, on Saturday they ride to Eureka Springs, AR, on Monday they ride to Mountain Home, AR, on Wednesday they ride to Hot Springs, AR and finally on Thursday they arrive at the rallye site in Jefferson, TX.
